I didn't know this about solar panels.
That they have a useful life of only about 20 years and that the costs of trashing them has not been factored into solar power costings.
By contrast a nuclear power station has a useful life around 80 years and the handling of waste is something that's mentioned every time we talk of nuclear power and, moreover - despite the scaremongering by greenies - has been solved.
The commenters on this article suggest that in time the waste solar panel issue will be solved. Which it may well be. It's still a cost that I've not seen commonly factored in to solar power costings.

"...it is the duty of those who have accepted Islam to strive unceasingly to convert or subjugate those who have not. This obligation is without limit of time or space. It must continue until the whole world has either accepted the Islamic faith or submitted to the power of the Islamic state."

-- Bernard Lewis, renowned historian of Islam and the Middle East, in The Political Language of Islam, p72-3.

In other words:

"Islam is unique among religions of the world in having a developed doctrine, theology and legal system that mandates warfare against unbelievers."
